Valley Children’s Unveils Plans for ‘Live-Work-Play’ Expansion

Valley Children’s Healthcare has unveiled plans for “The Hill,” a 443-acre mixed use community designed to enrich the lives of patients, families, staff and the broader community. This new development will bring together healthcare, housing, retail, recreation, office space and hospitality, all located on Valley Children’s main campus in in Madera, California.

This new, multi-faceted community will provide the resources required to sustain and grow Valley Children’s pediatric healthcare network far beyond what the hospital will receive in reimbursement from state/federal programs and commercial  insurance payouts.

The Hill’s residential district will include up to 450 studios, and one-, two- and three bedroom apartments, as well as townhomes in a wellness-centric natural environment. The retail district will incorporate more than 30 shops in a village-style environment, including a grocery store, lofts above retail spaces and other retail essentials.

The Hill will also feature a series of planned scenic walking paths connected to larger areas and venues for different activities. Details on the project timeline and project team selection have not been announced.
